40 Benefits of WHEATGRASS
1 Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available
2 Chlorophyll is the first product of light and, therefore, contains more light energy than any other element
3 Wheatgrass juice is a crude chlorophyll and can be taken orally and as a colon implant without toxic side effects
4 Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life
5 Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll. The brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment
6 Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the body as a healer
7 Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest wheatgrass juice and uses up very little body energy
8 Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of unfriendly bacteria
9 Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) rebuilds the bloodstream. Studies of various animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of any toxic reaction. The red cell count was returned to normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to be extremely anemic or low in red cell count
10 Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them on wheatgrass to restore fertility. (The high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones)
11 Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but wheatgrass is superior because it has been found to have over 100 elements needed by man. If grown in organic soil, it absorbs 92 of the known 102 minerals from the soil
12 Wheatgrass has what is called the grass-juice factor, which has been shown to keep herbivorous animals alive indefinitely
13 Dr. Ann Wigmore and institutes based on her teachings has been helping people get well from chronic disorders for 30 years using wheatgrass
14 Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them and makes them over
15 Wheatgrass Juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables. Dr Earp-Thomas, associate of Ann Wigmore, says that 15 pounds of Wheatgrass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrot, lettuce, celery, and so forth
16 Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body
17 Chlorophyll neutralizes toxins in the body
18 Chlorophyll helps purify the liver
19 Chlorophyll improves blood sugar problems
20 In the American Journal of Surgery (1940), Benjamin Gruskin, M.D. recommends chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests the following clinical uses for chlorophyll: to clear up foul smelling odors, neutralize Strep infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome chronic inner-ear inflammation and infection, reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers, eliminate impetigo and other scabby eruptions, heal rectal sores, successfully treat inflammation of the uterine cervix, get rid of parasitic vaginal infections, reduce typhoid fever, and cure advanced pyorrhea in many cases.21 Wheatgrass Juice cures acne and even help to remove scars after it has been ingested for seven to eight months. The diet must be improved at the same time
22 Wheatgrass juice acts as a detergent in the body and is used as a body deodorant
23 A small amount of wheatgrass juice in the human diet helps prevents tooth decay
24 Wheatgrass juice held in the mouth for 5 minutes will help eliminate toothaches. It pulls poisons from the gums
25 Gargle Wheat grass Juice for a sore throat
26 Drink Wheatgrass Juice for skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis

34 Wheatgrass juice is great for constipation and keeping the bowels open. It is high in magnesium
35 Dr. Birscher, a research scientist, called chlorophyll “concentrated sun power.” He said, “chlorophyll increases the function of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus, and the lungs”
36 According to Dr. Birscher, nature uses chlorophyll (wheatgrass) as a body cleanser, rebuilder, and neutralizer of toxins
37 Wheat grass juice can dissolve the scars that are formed in the lungs from breathing acid gasses. The effect of carbon monoxide is minimized since chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production
38 Wheatgrass Juice reduces high blood pressure and enhances the capillaries

Dehydrating Tomatoes 101:
Posted on: July 1, 2012
Sert it and ferggert it.
That’s set and it forget it, MOM. She’s like, WHAT WENT WRONG AT CHILDBIRTH?
So, do you guys have a dehydrator? I’m only 1,025% obsessed with mine. Get this, we found ours about a hundred years ago at a thrift store! It was like $.06 with no dead rats in it. SOLD.
What you see in this basket is a complete joke compared to what’s going on in the garden now. I can’t keep up. And today is only the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER, haaayelp.
So, we dehydrate. Just like my hair.
The process is so simple you’re going to slap your knee and exclaim, “SAY!” all Mayberry-like.
1) De-stem the stems.
2) Photograph them. (I’m just kidding.)
3) Rinse your tomatoes.
4) Photograph it. (You don’t have to.)
5) Slice them in half.
6) Layer cut side up on the dehydration trays.
7) Photograph it. (Not really)
8 ) Lightly sprinkle with sea salt. (We did ours over the sink to avoid messes that I would complain about for hours)
9) Turn the dehydrator on.
10) Photograph it. (I’m just kidding again.)
11) Live your life to the fullest over the next 24-36 hours.
Wrinkle City! Just like my clothes.
Three vitally important things to remember:
1) They don’t need to be so brittle that they snap in half. You still want them a little flexible and chewy.
2) If you want to pack them in oil and garlic, that’s fine! I just get worried about botulism and chicken pox.
3) Don’t buy clothes that you have to iron if ironing makes you want to saw your hands off.
OH BUT WAIT. It doesn’t stop here! Are you asking yourself, “but Beeeeev what do I doooo with theeeeesssseeee?” Guess what, pigeons. I have a few posts coming up showcasing the JOYS, FUN and PLEASURE of using dehydrated tomatoes in your meals.
P.S. I have the oven version for drying yer ‘maters at the bottom of this here post. See, there’s a place for everyone on http://www.bevcooks.com!
Now, what to do with the remaining 496 pounds of tomatoes on my counter.
Dehydrating Tomatoes 101:
What it took to roughly fill a 12-oz mason jar:
* dehydrator
* 4-6 cups mixed tomatoes (I had cherry and roma on hand), halved or sliced
* coarse salt
Seriously, you simply arrange the sliced tomato halves cut side up on each dehydrator tray. Lightly salt the tomatoes. Aaron held the racks over the sink while I did the sprinkling, to catch any salt though the cracks. And then he threw a ton over his shoulder because he thinks THAT’S THE RULE.
Now, mine has a basic on/off switch, no settings, so I turned it on and left it alone for 24 hours. Check on them. The larger slices will probably need another 6-12 hours. They should be slightly flexible and not so brittle they’ll break. Just nice and dried.
Store in a tightly sealed jar in the fridge or freezer or 6-9 months! You can of course add oil to it, but I get nervous about funky stuff appearing in it, so I keep mine as is.
If you’re going the oven route, simply preheat your oven to 200, or the lowest setting. Arrange the tomatoes, cut side up, on a cake rack. Season with salt and bake for roughly 6-12 hours. You should be good to go!
NINA ADDS:
mixing chopped up dehydrated tomatoes to cream cheese makes a wonderful party dip!
